3. Loosen Wheel Nuts

The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To loosen
the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-
terclockwise. When doing this, be sure
that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For
maximum leverage, position the wrench
so the handle is to the left as shown in
the drawing. Then, while holding the
wrench near the end of the handle, push
down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just
loosen them about one-half turn.

2. Block the Wheel

Block the wheel that is diagonally oppo-
site from the flat to keep the vehicle
from rolling when the vehicle is raised
on the jack.
